This morning, in the space of an hour and fifteen minutes, I played three songs on trumpet, played one on bells, and sang one with the choir. Tonight at five, I get to do it all over again!

Now that is one cool bunny.

Karate Kid and Karate Dad. We just passed our tests. Orange advanced belt for me, green advanced for him.

Attack of the Dinosaur Babies!
